News: ESPN: What the bye week means for Cowboys

IRVING, Texas -- One of the fallacies of an NFL bye week is that a team "gets back to fundamentals," and works on things they need to correct. Not really. The Dallas Cowboys will have one practice this week (Wednesday), which will last roughly an hour. Jason Garrett had a team meeting Tuesday after an off day Monday. The general health of the team did not factor into Garrett's decision to go without any on-field work. "Typically, you go from Sunday and you practice again on Wednesday," Garrett said.
